XEPORT SHOWS WESTERN LIVE STOCK OUTLOOK GOOD Cattle of seventeen western states darin the last five months of 1927 are estimated at about 16 per rent, or approximately a million- head, less than during the same fieriod last year, according to a report issued by George A. Scott, live stock statistician for tha bureau of agricultural economics at Salt lake City. In the area east of the continental divide the reduction is estimated at about 17 er ent, and in the area west at about 9 per cent. Sneh a reduction will result in the smallest marketings from this area sinee 1920. The area covered in tlis report is the seventeen states we.it of the line of the Missouri river, which a the' principal beef cattle producing section of the United States. Smaller marketings are indicated in 1 early every etate, but the largest reductions are in the states that suffered severely from drough in the summer and fall - MANTI FOREST NEWS LETTER FOR THE WEEK EP11RAIM, Aug. 22. On August 15th W. F. Bartholomew shipjied a ; March and April ear of block-faclambs, which weighed 81 pounds at the railroad, for which he received eleven and a half cento per pound. Many of our permittees who raise ear-l- v lambs are now disposing of them at eleven and a half cents, f. 0. b. the can. The Bartholomew lambs weighed one and a half puunds more than they did a year ago, at approximately g the same one of the July thunder storms lightning struck the barn at the Anderson sawmill in Twelve Mile Canyon, where fifteen stiekS of dynamite were stored. The thunderbolt earns during the night, while the operators were sleeping. Rushing from thier beds to see what the trouble was they were met by shower of boar . which was all that was left of the ed of 1926, with resulting heavy, forced marketings at that time. With abundant supplies of grass and winter feeds, improved financial e conditions, decreased supplies of and strong and advancing eallle prices, there is strong incentive for cattlemen to reduce marketings this fall, esfieeially of young eowr, heifer and calves. The present high market for beef cattle, heavy feeders and cows may be expected to encourage the shipment of fat dry eows and aged steers, and a closer euling of old cows. For the first year vnee 1922, cattle marketings from these states this fall will probably not exceed pro- barn. eat-tl- low-gra- de duction. Range and pasture conditions over this western area, as a whole, are much above August of last year, although conditions in Texas and the Southwest are not as good. Conditions in the states that suffered from drouth last year are excepthnail, good. Supplies of hay and feed crops will he considerably abovo last year. Range conditions in Utah are good except on areas in the west and south; from heavy summer latter section. Some contracts for fall delivery at good prices; little restocking of cattle apparent; winter feeding expected to be normal, with lighter nt fall marketings. SHEEP BEING DIPPED IN NAVAJO SECTION INDIAN Work of dipping sheep is proceeding rapidly in the Navajo section near four corners, the according to Thomas Redmond, state sheep inspector, who has juBt returned from a trip with Dr. K. W. McGinnis of the federal bureau of animal industry into the Indian rseervatipn. THU trip took the officials to that section where Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado meet', says Wednesday's Salt Lake Tribune. The dipping is being supervised at Bluff and in Monument Valley by insnectors bf the state department of agriculture. The Indian service and the bureau of animal inin supervising dustry are the work in the Shiprock division, the Fort Defianee reservation, and also on the Hopi and Tabs City sections. Scabies among the flocks of the lit- diana have menaced the slump of the whits men for yean, Redmond said, and repeated quarantines and dipping programs failed to eliminate the danger. Now, however, the several states, the bnrean of animal industry and the IndUn service are working together iu the nrogram of elimination and it ia thought the infection will be cleared up. Redmond renorted that heavy rains have made the road from Bluff to Mexican Hat practically impassable, but have put the rang in ideal condition. Feed on both the summer ranges is excellent, the inspector declared. Dr. W. II. Hendricks, state veterinarian, nqiorts that a score of purebred rams were lost through an outbreak of anthrax near Woodruff recently. The losses occurred on the low pasture land, where an outbreak occurred last year, the veterinarian said Sups are being taken to clean up the section thoroughly now and Dr. X. C. Snahling of Irovo has been sent to that seat ion to vaccinate other live stock against the disease.
